Bombardier Trains has been selected as one of the companies to build new trains for the next West Midlands franchise.
The new trains will provide space for an extra 85,000 passengers on rush hour services into Birmingham and London.
The 107 trains will cost £680 million and will be built in Derby.
Bombardier will manufacture them alongside Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles.
In August, London Midland lost the rights to operate in the West Midlands, being replaced by West Midlands Trains Ltd.
